My MVP was Gostkowski. He was ridiculous with his kickoffs and was right down the middle with 4 of his FGs. We needed him more than anything yesterday and he came through BIG time. All of a sudden, Gostkowski's job will be under the microscope now that close games are gonna be there throughout the year. Yesterday was an incredible performance by Gost

How come he doesn't kick it to the back of the endzone every game? Seems like he could do it with ease.

Warmer air is less dense than cold air, so there's less air resistance. Also, as the temperature gets colder, the ball becomes more and more like a brick, meaning that there's less efficient transfer of energy from his leg to the ball.

This game to me was a defensive battle with two heavyweights slugging it out especially in the first half and where field position and forcing turnovers were critical in securing a win. I can think of no single player who single-handedly influenced the field position battle like Gost. So yes, my vote also goes to the idiot kicker. He was great yesterday.

Ok, then why didn't he do it in the 5 warmer games the Pats have played so far?
